Most of you have already seen the Vlog we did on Gatebil 2018. When this site used to be all about articles and photo, I had much more time for writing. I’ve been shooting pictures for many years, and I’m not necessarily great at it, its just something I enjoy doing along with capturing whatever I can on video. Flip and I shot a lot of photos on this trip, and I felt like they needed to be put up onto the site. At the time of writing this, the Vlog has already gone live so these photos are just a slower recap of what could be described as the craziest Car event in Europe.
“This is my happy face in the happy place” these were the exact words Reuben shouted as we shot his pride and joy on the large bend at Ruskodgen. Back in 2013, we took a trip to Gatebil to see what the fuss was all about, and it blew our minds. It was like nothing we had ever seen before.
We hit the road to Gatebil in Rudskogen Norway in a bad Transit loaded with Reubens C33 Laurel. Enjoy this half hour special documenting our trip to one of the craziest car festivals in the world.
Define trust. Trust usually resides amongst family members and long term friends, best friends even. It can also be found maybe in professional practice say a doctor, dentist or child minder. It comes from knowing something is good or receiving an excellent recommendation from someone. We went to Rudskogen Raceway in Norway for Gatebil 2015 where I witnessed trust of a totally different kind.
Back to the final installment of Gatebil, the complete madness that funnily enough you start to get used to somehow.
The paddock itself is just as impressive as any part of the eventl, the words “that wont work” do not exist in these guys vocabulary!
Once again we were away, out of Ireland the country which at the time we were leaving was experiencing one of the hottest weeks in over twenty years. This was something none of us were going to care about because finally we were actually leaving the country with a plan we had made over a year before.
